B-2 Stealth Bombers Strike Iranian Nuclear Sites: Operation Midnight Hammer

On June 22, 2025, the United States launched a massive airstrike against Iranian nuclear facilities in a mission called "Operation Midnight Hammer."

Seven B-2 Spirit stealth bombers targeted key underground sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, known to be critical to Iran's nuclear program. Armed with GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs)—bombs designed to penetrate deep layers of reinforced concrete—the B-2s flew over 37 hours non-stop with multiple in-flight refuelings.
